Özet: This study is about the investigation of the physical and mechanical properties of the clay bound plasters applied on the surface of adobe used as wall element in one of traditional building type, adobe buildings. The protection of wall surfaces against outdoor conditions and the resistance against adverse effect in adobe buildings is important in respect to fulfill the protective function. It's possible to minimize the damage that can occur in clay-based exterior plasters covering the surface of mud-wall and protecting the building's wall against outdoor conditions, by determining properties of the plaster used. In the study made for this purpose, physical and mechanical properties of the material have been investigated by experimental methods by taking clay bound exterior plaster samples from an adobe building in Diyarbakir province, Bismil district, Yuvacik village. Performance of clay bound plasters against outdoor conditions in terms of protective function is evaluated through the experimental study.
